Eisenhorn triceps pushdown – how to do it right
Cable from above, elbows at your sides, push the bar down.
This is how Stickfreed, our glowing stick figure, shows you the exercise on your TV – here the start, middle and end position. In the app he turns slowly so you can see everything.
How to do it
- Stand close to the machine and lean forward slightly.
- Elbows stay tight to your body.
- Push the bar down until your arms are straight.
- Return slowly – not above chest height.
How long?
40–45 seconds at a steady pace: slow on the way down, strong on the way up. 2–4 rounds.
If something niggles
Then do Triceps kickback instead. Stop if it hurts; if you have complaints or pre-existing conditions, check with a doctor or physio first.
